Covalon Technologies Ltd. to Present FDA Cleared IV Clear Antimicrobial Silicone Adhesive Dressing at FIME: the Largest International Medical Trade Fair and Congress in the United States

MISSISSAUGA, ON, Aug. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - Covalon Technologies Ltd. (the
"Company" or "Covalon") (TSXV: COV), an advanced medical technologies
company, today announced that it is presenting its latest breakthrough
antimicrobial products, including the recently United States FDA
cleared IV Clear at the 2012 FIME International Medical Expo ("FIME")
from August 8 to 10 in Miami Beach, Florida.

As a seminar guest speaker, Dr. Val DiTizio, Covalon's Chief Scientific
Officer will be discussing why IV Clear is being evaluated by medical
institutions that have adopted programs focused on reducing the
instances of catheter related bloodstream infections. Clinicians have
identified patients who have weak immune systems, sensitive or
compromised skin, or who have long-term catheters as groups who can
benefit the most from IV Clear. Dr. DiTizio's seminar entitled "A
Novel Antimicrobial Clear IV Dressing with Chlorhexidine and Silver"
will be presented at 10:00am in room D238 during the FIME Medical
Educational Conference on Thursday August 9th at the Miami Beach
Convention Center.

Covalon will also be showcasing its latest wound care products such as
ColActive® Plus Ag, which is cleared for use in the management of
diabetic ulcers and other chronic wounds and SurgiClear, its unique
antimicrobial transparent silicone adhesive surgical dressing to the
thousands of international and domestic distributors, group purchasing
organizations, hospitals and medical products dealers attending FIME
who are looking for advanced products to license and distribute.

"IV Clear is truly a new innovation in the fight against Catheter
Related Blood Stream Infections ("CRBSI") and we fully expect IV Clear
to be a strong competitor in the United States and International
markets," stated Brian Pedlar, Covalon's Chief Executive Officer. "We
are looking forward to establishing new distribution relationships at
FIME with distributors and hospital buying groups that are interested
in sourcing and licensing IV Clear and other Covalon products."

FIME International Medical Expo, is the largest international medical
trade fair and congress in the United States for conventional medical
distributor networks, group purchasing organizations, integrated
